There sure seem to be plenty of anti-Bush screeds being posted lately. What's that about?




It depends on the angle, not all have the same purpose. This one seems to be about recapturing the centrality of limited government to the conservative message. That was lost when Bush came to be seen as the conservative/GOP leader. With Bush about ready to exit the political arena, the battle is joined to define conservatism.

"That was lost when Bush came to be seen as the conservative/GOP leader."

When would that have been? In 2000? I didn't think he showed a lot of signs of being a conservative leader in 2000. His public statements certainly were not those of a conservative leader in many areas.

Now that push has come to shove, and with a Congressional election looming on the horizon, suddenly Bush is a target of scorn and derision? How odd.
